Synecdoche


I am afraid I do not know the artist who has cleverly used textiles here. The woman’s heart here, is clearly symbolic of a loving relationship between herself and the man. The heart is a synecdoche as it denotes part of the relationship between the couple. I feel that the artist was trying to emphasize that people have more than one emotion as he has double-outlined both characters. I feel that the man is more secure in their relationship because he’s defined in a solid colour, whereas, the woman is rather insecure as she’s in a washed colour and her outline is shakier.
